Hi John! I studied with you probably 16 years ago and now I'm a full time guitarist in the NYC area. (Weddings, etc). I remember you taught me "Walk, Don't Run", "Pipeline" and I played them at my talent show in 7th grade. If I remember correctly I took lessons from you in Westminster. I never gave it up and now I'm 29 with a bachelors and a Masters of music and I teach students myself. I hope all is well with you

I started playing guitar when I was twelve years old and John walked
me through it. He had far more patience with me than I did myself and kept me on track to strengthen my understanding of my instrument. John also is an incredible musician himself with tons of experience in the music world that he has applied within his lesson plans. Seeing what
my own music could be through watching him helped me stick with it. Within six months I was writing my own music, which I have continued to do for the past eight years.
Not only did he assist in my music career, he also taught my sister
be able to have success with all of our different personalities and
preferences. John gave me the tools and the support to become my own
musician and has been supportive even after I stopped taking lessons
with him. He was the first person I thought to contact when learning
to play piano and is always my recommendation for musicians regardless of their skill level.

We are so lucky to have found John, a true local gem, to teach our 10 year old daughter piano and our 8 year old son electric guitar. He has sparked a passion in both of them. It is hard to find a teacher that can keep things interesting and fun for kids in this age group and John does both of these things so well. John is a charismatic teacher that is firm and fun. He keeps the kids accountable for their lessons but keeps it light enough for them to want to continue and practice in between lessons. As an added bonus he travels to our home, which makes learning an instrument super convenient with a busy family schedule. We look forward to watching our kids grow with John at their side for years to come! We HIGHLY recommend him!
